[QUOTE="PABeaver, post: 1014402, member: 10495"] After testing for a good part of the morning, I stand corrected and I apologize if I caused you a bunch of work. I assumed that the because the light was still on for the tuner that it was locked. It is in fact, not locked and able to be used by any of the clients. I wasn't sure how to do the test that Jason suggested in the post you linked, but I was able to repeatedly start watching a channel in MP, stop it, open another MP client and watch a channel and it would grab the same tuner. If you go into the Prime software on the device itself, and look at the status of the tuner it still says "locked" but as Jason said "Getting the target will tell you if it is actively streaming, but it is possible to be streaming without a lock, and to be locked without streaming" so I guess it doesn't matter. One thing I am confused about is why the lights on the tuner stay on. They have not turned off despite not being used for about an hour now. They only turn off if I power down the device and power it back up again and it did not do this with MP v1.3 and the previous patch. Again, not that it seems to be affecting the behavior of the device, but I used to monitor whether something was recording by going to the box and looking at the lights. Are any other Prime owners experiencing this same thing or am I unique? [/QUOTE]
